triple jumps

Hop, skip, jump

Triple jumps is the plural of triple jump, a track and field event where an athlete sprints down a runway and performs three consecutive leaps—a hop, a step, and a jump—landing in a sand pit.

The sequence must follow the pattern: takeoff foot, same foot, opposite foot.

Her triple jumps have improved since she fixed her technique.
